this weekend my humans took me to a place called "wisconsin". for those of you that have never been there before, it's amazing - a real winter wonderland!!! we stayed at this place called "the lake", where - you guessed it - there's a ginormous lake, and it was frozen!!! it was pretty cold to walk out on, but i had my jacket and booties to keep me warm. plus, mom and dad let me off the leash (which is a big, big deal), so i ran around and didn't stop running until i was completely out of breath. i think that also helped to keep me warm. while i was running around (and around, and around), my family was cutting holes in the ice and trying to catch fish.

here are some pictures from our adventure!!!
